You are well and truly MAD! hahaha. <br /><br />I thought from your previous posts on one particular bell jar that you have really gone over to the dark side (of the obsessives). To have created the tiniest bell jar with its specimen in that insanely small scale is already enough to drive me wild but to do so many...I am without words.<br /><br />To top it all, when I read that you have painted those teeeeeniest butterflies yourself, I knew you have not only tipped the balance but fell hard. The reflective pool is but a sign that the fall was into a deep dark abyss of no return to the Land of Extreme Obsessions :):).<br /><br />But we know that's exactly why we love your work :).

And No, sadly I have still not seen the tiny Travelers! :(<br />I am hoping that they will eventually get here... perhaps you are right that they were impacted by Superstorm Sandy... we don't know what route the overseas mail would take to get here! If it went through New York there is no telling what might have happened. I will keep looking! As I said, my porch is sheltered so any mail that arrives here is safe in the mail box.... We will keep hoping!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-11914417783172831572012-11-29T20:36:26.501-05:002012-11-29T20:36:26.501-05:00Thank you, Irene!

I used my embroidery scissors and cut away large sections of paper around the butterfly leaving one long attached sliver to hold on by.... if you understand what I am saying... so I never made the scissors go around a corner... like whittling away wood chips.... all the cuts were straight and gradually took away all the extra paper!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-48778393029967984122012-11-29T20:31:38.684-05:002012-11-29T20:31:38.684-05:00Fortunately these rooms have doors that close so t...Fortunately these rooms have doors that close so the dust will be kept out!
